Review / Release Blitz: Reckless Player (Westfall U #4) by R.C. Stephens


Reckless Player by R.C. Stephens is now live!


Paris

I've had a crush on my best friend for as long as I can remember. But he's a hockey winger who has quite a reputation with the puck bunnies, and I'm a nerdy girl trying to survive my biochemistry degree as a single mom.

If science has taught me anything, it's that facts don't lie. And the truth is Ryse and I are from two completely different worlds. He's headed for the pros, and I hypothesize I'll be left behind... again.

Ryse might not be boyfriend material, but he makes a great fake fiancé because he's fooling even me. After months of subtle touches and staged kisses, our experiment finally combusts.

He may be a reckless player... but his pretend love is the realest thing I've ever felt.

Ryse

After my gorgeous best friend moves in next door, things go from friend-zone to chemistry off the charts. Now I'm seeing the sexy single mom in a whole new light.

It's my year to go pro, and before I can draft, I need to clean up my playboy reputation and graduate. I can't risk a relationship... or my friendship with Paris.
When she needs a fake fiancé to get her son into private school, I do what any good friend would do-- I volunteer.

But the closer we get, the more blurred the lines become. Falling for her is a complication I didn't calculate... but pretending to love her is the easiest game I've ever played.

I just hope when the game is over, I don't lose her for good.

MY REVIEW

Paris needs a fake fiancé to help her son get into a great school. Her best friend Ryse needs to clean up his playboy image. So a fake relationship between the two is really their only option. But of course, feelings that were already there, become even stronger within the space of close proximity and seeing each other in new situations. Will they find a way to make fake become very real? Or will both their trust issues be an obstacle neither can overcome?

I've been really enjoying this series centered on Westfall U students that find love. There have been glimpses of both Ryse and Paris throughout the series, so it was really good to finally get their own story. They have that kind of chemistry that only the best kind of friends have. It's very easy to understand how friends cross the lines into more when they have the ease and familiarity with each other already, compounded by attraction. Ryse and Paris were obviously already feeling more than friendly since before this story started, but their journey wasn't easy considering all their issues. I liked their story, liked them, and am really excited for the next Westfall U student to fall in love.

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
